got a 1.6 k series engine and its leaking water from what looks inlet manifold on cylinder one. its putting out water through the exhaust.
is this the start of head gasket? nothing on the oil cap but im thinking that its maybe split between a water jacket and the outside edge of the head just by cylinder 1.
any help is greatly apriciated...
yes i know its not a mini engine so dont be stating the obvious here. i know alot of you have the k series in the mini.
anyone know some good rover forums?
many thanks robert.

k series always leak from the inlet gasket from the small water pipe to the expansion bottle into cylinder 1 replace the rubber gasket but check the inlet for worpage as they are only plastic
